All male group? Or were there females with them?On a run to my family farm where i grew up and stopped and snapped this photos. This was last sunday
And gobbling, the most gobbling and strutting I seen in 2021 was in December at 20 degrees. They ( 4 longbreads and 6 Jakes) carried on from flydown to noon.Actually,gobblers strut even in wintertime!
Why that's just obsceneHad one breed a hen in my in-laws yard middle of last week. This is NW TN.
Those male gobblers sound like today's so-called millennial males!Turkeys can breed until they molt. They will start the molt in August. Soon after daylight begins to decrease. Loose their feathers. Hens stop ovulation. Gobblers testicals wither down from almost the size of your thumb to the size of your pinky finger nail. Gobblers quit creating testosterone. A gobbler in spring may weigh 18-22lbs, but in fall they only weigh about 15-16 lbs. that's any where from 10-20% of their body weight which is a big deal.
